Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized Potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of butter, ensuring even coverage on all sides.
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes into a bowl of cold water to prevent browning and remove excess starch.
Finely chop the onion or grate it for a finer texture, depending on your preference.
Drain the grated potatoes thoroughly, pressing out as much excess water as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained grated potatoes, chopped onion, eggs, all-purpose flour, sour cream, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir until evenly combined.
Transfer the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Dot the top of the potato mixture with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, broken into small pieces, to help achieve a golden and crisp top layer during baking.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes or until the potatoes are set in the center, and the top is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing into portions.
Garnish with freshly chopped dill before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of sour cream on the side or alongside your favorite main dish.
